On January 5, 2023, the Colonel James Wood II Chapter of the Virginia Society Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) conducted an awards presentation ceremony to recognize ladies who have supported the organization. The event was conducted at a dinner held at the Wayside Inn, Middletown, Virginia. The Wayside Inn is the oldest and longest continuously running inn of the United States. The “Old Kitchen” was built in 1742 as a way station and stagecoach stop. The original well that watered the small hamlet of Middletown is viewable in the Larrick’s Tavern portion of the Inn. Wayside has continuously offered accommodations and dining since 1797. Compatriots of the Sons of the American Revolution must have linear descent from a patriot of the American Revolution. The chapter and the inn have combined for several events over the past several years to support the preservation of colonial history and patriotism.

Jim Naccash, Troop 4 Scoutmaster, was the emcee, with Max Deardurff providing Chaplain duties. The CJWII Chapter Color Guard provided sentinels and musketmen to combine with the Troop 4 Color Guard in presenting the colors. After the Pledge of Allegiance, Jackie Clark sang the National Anthem.
Wreaths were then placed for each branch of the military, the Merchant Marines and MIA/POWs. Among other presenters, SAR compatriots Thomas “Chip” Daniel placed a wreath for the U.S. Navy, Patrick Moore for the Merchant Marines and Charles Jameson (Culpeper Minutemen) for the MIA/POW. A three round musket salute was fired by the Colonel James Wood II Chapter Musket Squad led by commander Dale Corey. Firing for the SAR were Sean Carrigan, Thomas “Chip” Daniel, Will Reynolds and dual members from the Culpeper Minutemen Chapter Mike Dennis and Bill Schwetke.

Wreaths were then distributed and placed at veterans graves sites throughout the cemetery to honor the service of our veterans. When each wreath is placed, the service member’s name is said out loud, ensuring their memory lives on. In 2022, over two million volunteers placed more than 2.7 million veterans wreaths on headstones at 3,702 locations to show our veterans and their families, we will not forget.
Each participant played an important part in the mission to remember the fallen, honor those that serve and their families while teaching our children the value of freedom. Each wreath was a gift of respect and appreciation as a small gesture of gratitude for veterans service for the freedoms we enjoy.
